Does anyone have any experience with ‘Swagelok’ Quick Connects?
I am looking for what has worked in the past.

Specifically looking for a unit that has the following attributes.
Zero (or very limited) intrusion, ‘pressure on’ while connecting, lower pressure connection (150 to 300psi,) Nitrox and oxygen compatible.

What is the required flow rate for a downstream 2nds stage to breathe appropriately from? Is there a industry standard for diving compared to the 3/8-24 fitting?

Is ‘Flourcarbon FKM’ oxygen safe?

I am thinking that Bill Stone used something similar in the ‘Cis-Lunar’ units?

I am working on something- (evil laugh.)

Thanks, Andrew

PS- Merry Christmas and watch out for Reindeer crap…
